Won an auction for 2 M915 battery boxes. Each is packed onto 1 pallet. I'm not worried about the time, but I'll definitely need them picked up by the 10 day limit. Just need them to reach northern Utah (Logan, UT 84321) at some point.
Like some, I recently found the power steering ram on the passenger side of the front axle of my M923A2 to be leaking. Time for a project!
Here's why my seals failed:
CARC paint is fairly abrasive. Having the seals rub on it just tore them up. Do yourself a favor and make sure the piston rod...
My power steering assist cylinder (PSAC) was leaking so I'm tearing it down and replacing the seals. I'm waiting on new felt pads and dust shields, so I've been reading up on reinstallation. The only part I'm a little confused about is the travel adjustment. The TM states that when properly...
I got a few requests for this info so here goes.
My CTIS was doing 5 blinking lights after reaching 120 psi and there were no noises coming from the PCU on the floor. The troubleshooting guide pointed me in the direction of the control solenoids.
To test f this is your issue, disconnect the 6...
So the parts came in and I had the time to rebuild my wheel valve that wouldn't stay shut. I had taken the valve apart before and cleaned it, but it just wouldn't stay shut and when the CTIS stopped inflating, it immediately began deflating back to the QRV. Annoying to say the least. So here's...
So today I replaced 2 of the 3 solenoids in my CTIS and magically the system came to life. After letting it run for a while then shutting the truck off, the front axle quick release was blowing air and airing down the driver side tire. It ended up at about 20 psi or so, at which point the quick...
So, like many, my fan cutch actuator leaks air. Enough so that when I shut the truck off, it airs down pretty quickly. This leaking also seems to cause the fan to run more than it needs to. And so, today I embarked upon a journey to fix the problem (hopefully).
I drained almost 5 gallons of...
So I'm working on getting my CTIS working (Yes, I want it working. I'm not going g to remove it.) and I need to check the wheel filters. What's the best way to get the hose off and cap the wheel so I don't lose too much air? Would one of the metal caps from the wheel valve Schrader or backside...
So today I found that my lift pump is leaking fuel out of the priming pump. I'm looking to replace it and I'm a little confused on the part #s. Erik's sells P/N 3917999 and shows a picture that doesn't quite match up to my pump. The site says it replaces P/N 4988749 which, when looked up on...
Can someone post a picture of the profile of the soft top cab bows? I'm cleaning my soft top and repairing the j channel and while I have it off I want to try and bend the bows back to the original shape.
Under 25 and over 35 mph my truck is pretty smooth. At 25 to 35 I get some severe bouncing/bucking. This is on flat roads. Would this be a wheel balancing issue? Wheels out of round? Shocks/springs? I know these trucks are not smooth rides, but the bouncing is pretty intense.
I'm going to have to store my m923a2 outside this winter and I'm trying to figure out the best way to get it covered. I was considering some kind of rv cover, but they're all sized for specific models. Next choose would be 1 or 2 heavy duty (10+ mil) tarps. I don't have bows or cargo seats. I...
So I'm the proud owner of a 1990 M923A2 and I'm wondering who else in the area/state owns MVs and if there are any get togethers. I know there's the UMVC (Utah Military Vehicle Club), but most of their events seem to be south of Salt Lake City. I live up in Cache Valley. Any northern Utah MV...
Has anyone used Baldwin filters in place of Napa? Ive read that in general Baldwin has better micron ratings. Are the 10 micron Napa filters enough?
Canister:
Baldwin PF316 - Napa 3401
Spin-on:
Baldwin BF7921- Napa 3472
After reading through the -23 manuals for parking brake adjustment, I'm still a bit confused with an issue I'm having. My parking brake lever correctly engages the brakes when pulled up. When I push it down, it disengages the brakes, but will not stay down parallel to the cab floor. It springs...
The muffler on my M923A2 has a bunch of pinholes on the bottom I don't think any are bigger than 1/16". I'm guessing water sitting in the muffler rusted through. It seems solid, but who knows what the condition is like inside. Does the air escaping have much of an effect on the performance of...
I have a 4 battery setup in my M923A2 and a Solargizer is already installed, but not hooked up to the batteries. I haven't been able to find a manual for the Solargizer so what leads are the correct ones to hook up to for proper function?
So I'm going over my new m923a2. Right now I'm checking wires, tightening/cleaning connections and cataloging what grommets and seals are dry rotted and need replacing. During this process I found a wire hanging out from behind the gauge area and I'm having trouble finding it in the TMs. I've...
How hard is it to install a ring gear in an m923a2? I'm looking at an out of state purchase and the seller said the following:
"Military removed ring gear so cannot be started."
What would this cost me and how long/involved would it be?
